Inside the Wuying Palace.

Jia Yun walked quickly around the screen, entered the side hall, and immediately bowed on one knee and said: "The last general Jia Yun will meet Your Majesty, and bow to him." ”

Emperor Chongming on the imperial case responded lightly and said indifferently: "Get up!" ”

When Jia Yun heard this, he got up and saw the King of Zhongshun on the side, Jia Yun said respectfully: "I have seen the Lord of Zhongshun." ”

Loyal to the king, Jia Yun has also seen it, as the leader of the Gongwei Division, Jia Yun, a hundred officials in the court, knows it in his chest.

In Jia Yun's memory of his previous life, when Jia Fu finally raided his house, he had a lot to do with King Zhongshun, so he naturally paid more attention.

King Zhongshun nodded and gave Jia Yun face, which can be regarded as a greeting.

At this time, Emperor Chongming said: "Jia Yun, I ordered the king of Zhongshun to be sent to the south of the Yangtze River to raise funds, and you follow the king of Zhongshun to listen to the dispatch."

"Fundraising?" Jia Yun was puzzled, but thinking of the Huang Trouble, Jia Yun suddenly understood, as for sending Jia Yun to wait for the dispatch, I am afraid that I want Jia Yun to protect the King of Zhongshun, you must know that the flooded land, the order is weak, and the danger is great, Emperor Chongming and the King of Zhongshun are brothers of the same mother, brothers, friends and brothers, so they naturally care very much.

So Jia Yun immediately responded: "The minister obeys the order."

Your Majesty can rest assured that the ministers will sacrifice their lives to protect the loyal and obedient prince, and nothing will go wrong. ”

Emperor Chongming nodded with satisfaction, for Jia Yun, after observing it for a while recently, he served the monarch loyally, neither with the courtiers nor with the nobles in Beijing, but he won the heart of Emperor Chongming.

Remembering that Jia Yun seemed to have a certain opinion on political affairs, Emperor Chongming picked up the chapters on a few cases and said casually: "Jia Yun, take a look and tell me what you think." ”

King Zhongshun's hand holding the tea paused, ignored it, and continued to drink the tea, he already knew that his imperial brother seemed to be very unusual to this Jia Yun.

Jia Yun bowed forward, took it with both hands, and immediately looked carefully, when he saw the yellow plague, which affected millions of victims, he was really shocked, the suffering of the yellow plague is every year, but this time it is really too widespread, if it is not handled properly, it will really starve many people to death....

After thinking for a moment, Jia Yun asked respectfully, "Dare to fight." What does Your Majesty plan to do with it? ”

For Jia Yun's boldness, Emperor Chongming was commonplace, and said casually: "I have ordered the treasury to allocate 400,000 taels of silver in the Zhili area, buy grain from rich households, and urgently transport it to the disaster area to solve the urgent need. ”

It's only 400,000 taels, even if Jia Yun doesn't know how to deal with political affairs, it is completely insufficient, although he knows that the treasury does not have much treasury silver, but it will not be so miserable!

It seems that the tax revenue of the imperial court is a huge problem.

After thinking for a moment, Jia Yun said, "Your Majesty, why don't you transfer grain from neighboring provinces?" ”

All provinces have grain in stock, and if the imperial court orders it to be mobilized, it will not cost money or transport grain from far away, which is the most convenient way.

Emperor Chongming nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said: "If you can say this, it seems that you are not slacking off, and you know how to grow." ”

With a word of praise, Emperor Chongming then said coldly: "If there is food, I don't need to go far and near." ”

As soon as Emperor Chongming's words came out, Jia Yun understood that there was no food to adjust in the neighboring provinces, although he didn't know why there was no food, but there was no food, and you had no choice.

After a pause, Jia Yun continued: "Your Majesty, there is no silver in the treasury, and there should be silver in the Internal Affairs Office!" ”

"Smack......

King Zhongshun was drinking tea, and when he heard Jia Yun's words, the teacup in his hand was suddenly unstable, and he fell directly on the carpet.

The saint was rude, and the king of Zhongshun hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The courtier's brother is disrespectful, and the royal brother must not blame." ”

Emperor Chongming also had a black line on his face at this time, and after waving his hand to signal that King Zhongshun didn't have to care, he looked at Jia Yun dissatisfied, and said coldly: "Are you saying that the people are in trouble, and I am reluctant to take out even my own money?" ”

Generally speaking, "under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." "The whole world belongs to the emperor, how can you talk about your own silver.

In fact, there is still a difference between the treasury and the private treasury of individuals, so the emperors of all dynasties have private money, the internal treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and the sealing treasury of the Song Dynasty are all the same.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the small private treasury of the Emperor Daqian, in charge of the royal clothing, food, housing, transportation, and of course, including the emperor's private money.

The income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the money and grain paid by the emperor's "self-operated" manor, the "self-operated" money and grain estate, the silver taels paid by the money village every year, the annual tax collected by the grain house, as well as the tributes of the feudal officials, officials at all levels and subject countries, and part of the salt tax revenue.

In general, the annual income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also quite large.

The private money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is used for the daily expenses of the royal family, and in special periods, it can also be used for the expenses of the imperial court, which is determined by the emperor himself.

"I don't dare." Jia Yun replied on one knee.

It's easy to offend people by telling the truth, especially in the face of the Ninety-Five, but Jia Yun knows that Emperor Chongming will not punish Jia Yun for this matter, so naturally he will tell the truth.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongming glared at Jia Yun, and then said: "The silver from the Internal Affairs Office has been used to fill the gap in military salaries, plus the expenses of each one, and there is no silver now." ”

Jia Yun was silent when he heard this, not to mention that Emperor Chongming was diligent in government, but through Emperor Chongming's use of the silver of the Internal Affairs Office to fill the gap in military salaries, this is enough to prove that Emperor Chongming is a good emperor.

Throughout the ages, how many emperors have been able to use their own silver to fill the treasury, and it is not bad if they have not taken silver from the treasury to fill their own silver.

Although there must be a lot of money in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Emperor Chongming has already subsidized the military salary, and if it is used to fill the vacancy of the flood, the silver will be used up, and the royal family will use up the silver.

The royal dignity was lost, and the impact was greater.

Jia Yun pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Your Majesty is a wise monarch through the ages, and the way to deal with it is very clever, and the minister's power is beyond his reach. ”

Emperor Chongming raised his eyebrows, daring to ask him about loneliness, and at the end of the day, he suffered a sycophancy......

However, Jia Yun is really not good at governance, and it is really good to be able to say this.

It's just that Jia Yun, who is not good at governance, how to come up with a strategy of "tax apportionment", Emperor Chongming didn't understand this very well, and he also sent someone to investigate, and there was no hermit behind Jia Yun.

Perhaps Jia Yun is well aware of the suffering of the people, and accidentally came up with such a strategy, and the fool will have a thousand thoughts.

Emperor Chongming was unimpressed by Jia Yun's sycophancy, and ordered: "Follow the king of Zhongshun to do your errand, millions of disaster victims are waiting to be fed, and if you are late, the people will suffer for a day." ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongming was worried, Jia Yun stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in the opinion of the ministers, it is inevitable that what the report says will be exaggerated, and the governors in various places will infinitely exaggerate the disaster, and the number of prefectures and counties reported by the disaster may be very different from the actual situation." ”

Emperor Chongming put down the report and said casually: "I have sent the superintendent of the imperial history to supervise the disaster relief, and the Ministry of Industry is still building the river embankment, you and the King of Zhongshun only need to raise funds, and you don't need to meddle with the rest." ”

When Jia Yun heard this, he consciously managed too much, and said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After thinking for a moment, Jia Yun spoke: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, I am afraid that fundraising is not easy to handle, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant you the right to garrison a place in Jiangnan." ”

The amount of money raised is huge, and it is by no means easy to get money from the hands of those gentry, at this time, with soldiers in hand, things are much easier, although it cannot be done too much, and the people are real, but the deterrent effect is real.

Emperor Chongming raised his eyes and looked at Jia Yun, thinking about the gains and losses in his heart, the so-called fundraising should be "voluntary", if it is forcibly requisitioned, it will inevitably end up with a violent reputation, lose trust in the world, and be not beneficial to the imperial court.

However, Jia Yun himself proposed that it was nothing more than taking care of the matter, and if something went wrong, Jia Yun would be the scapegoat.

If something goes wrong, even if Emperor Chongming values Jia Yun and thinks about the overall situation, he has to deal with Jia Yun!! ……

Jia Yun naturally knows, but there are some things that have to be done, in the past, his status was low, and he couldn't control it, but now he has the ability to deal with his own heart.

And Jia Yun will not do anything too out of the ordinary, with his understanding of Emperor Chongming, he can act with restraint and can protect his life without worry, so why not do it......

What's more, compared to being punished, the emperor's heart is the most important, Jia Yun dares to do this, also because the reigning Emperor Chongming, if you change the emperor, then you really have to weigh it!!

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Chongming turned his head and said to King Zhongshun: "I will issue an order to order Qincha to control the garrison in Jiangnan, and the eighth brother will use it carefully. ”

In order to better fundraise, Emperor Chongming felt that what Jia Yun said was reasonable, but it was still up to the King of Zhongshun to make the decision, Jia Yun was young and vigorous, and it was inevitable that something would go wrong.

For a loyal courtier like Jia Yun, he still likes it very much.

The king of Zhongshun replied: "The courtiers obey the order." ”

Then Emperor Chongming waved his hand to Jia Yun and instructed: "Go to the Gongwei Division to select a few good hands, escort the prince of Zhongshun together, and meet with the king of Zhongshun at the west gate of the city." ”

"Yes......" Jia Yun replied, and then withdrew from the side hall and really arranged for travel.

After Jia Yun left, Emperor Chongming opened his mouth and asked King Zhongshun, "What do you think of this son?" ”

King Zhongshun pondered for a moment and replied, "Some insight, and some boldness. ”

Insightful refers to Jia Yun's analysis of political affairs, which is really commendable for military generals, as for boldness, in front of the saint, even the internal affairs government dares to mention it, and alludes to the corruption of the governors of various provinces, and also wants to use military power to deter the gentry in Jiangnan, it is really no taboo, very bold.

Emperor Chongming chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said: "I think it's good, and if I dare to say these words, it shows that I also have people in my heart, and I am a hundred times stronger than those corpses."

Besides, he was born as a military general, and it is not a bad thing to be straight, but he has a bit of a pure heart. ”

King Zhongshun nodded, with Jia Yun's identity, if he has the eyes of a civil official, it is indeed difficult to rest assured.

However, from this point of view, Emperor Chongming has a very high evaluation of Jia Yun in his heart, and even said the heart of a child, it seems that Jia Yun is deeply relied on by his imperial brother.

"That's what the royal brother said." Loyal to the king.
